“Go out and use genetic engineering to create a better virus… 25% of the population is supposed to go in Contagion.”-Charles Arntzen, Biodesign Institute for Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology, supposedly worked on ebola serum

Some people are blaming the current ebola outbreak on the consumption of monkey or bat meat (there are at least five versions of ebola), but the revelation that the United States has been working on an ebola serum (apparently in secret) for some time now only reinforces my hypothesis that the current ebola outbreak is caused by genetically modified crops (aka GMO, GM, GE [genetically engineered], transgenic). You see, the life saving serum is made from Kentucky grown GM tobacco soaked in ebola virus.

From 1976 (by coincidence, Monsanto’s Roundup was “commercialized” for the U.S. market in 1976) to 2012 the major ebola outbreaks have been centered in central Africa; in the two Congos, Uganda and southern Sudan (now called South Sudan). But suddenly, at the end of 2013 ebola shows up with a vengeance in western Africa.

The three countries at the new center of the “unprecedented” EVD (Ebola Virus Disease) outbreak are Liberia (a former[?] U.S. colony), Sierra Leone and Guinea. All border each other and all are prolific users of GM crops. This is interesting because all the GMO tracking sites I checked don’t show these countries as being involved in GMO use (and the most recent data is from 2011).

Nigeria has also joined the EVD outbreak club. At the beginning of July the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development swore there was no GMO in Nigeria. But get this, he wants to use nuclear tech provided by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to increase food production, and he sure seems confused about what GMO is: “We must never be afraid of atomic technology in food production. We want to raise productivity, good health and environmental sustainability. We must not listen to those who want to create fear in the minds of people on things they should not be scared about with half-baked knowledge……We can use science to make our food safe and for the issue of food security…..The fact remains that we have nothing in this country called GMO. People confused modern day science to GMOs.”-Akinwumi Adesina

Here’s another fact from Nigeria: While the Minister of Agriculture denies GM crops are being grown in his country (while appearing to not know what they are), the Minister of Science and Technology announced, in 2013, the creation of the International Service for the Acquisition of Agric-biotech Application. The main purpose of this “Application” is to promote the growth and use of GMO in Nigeria!

When did Nigeria report its first cases of ebola? Earlier this year, however the Minister of Health recently said what’s really going on in Nigeria is a hemorrhagic version of dengue fever (which can kill you just as good as ebola).

The problem with GMO is that some genetically engineered plants involve the use of “transfer vectors”, normally a type of agro-bacteria or other microbe, to force genetic change or prevent rejection of the genetic changes. It is not the same as Mother Nature’s pollination technique. Deadly microbes act as firewalls within the DNA strand, preventing the host’s genetic immune system from eliminating the foreign DNA.

GMOs are so risky that in 2002 Liberia joined the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. Last year Liberia held a two week risk management course for GM crops, run by their new Liberia National Biosafety Framework Implementation Project. It was funded by the United Nations Environment Programme and the Global Environment Facility. If GMOs are so safe why the need for such biosafety programs?

But don’t blame it all on farmers growing GMOs. Turns out the very same African countries suffering the EVD outbreak are huge recipients of United Nations food aid, which arrives in the form of GM products. That’s right, the main sources for UN food aid are GM crops, and there’s a conspiracy to dump as much of it on African countries as fast as possible.

Liberia is a huge recipient of UN World Food Programme (WFP) genetically modified food, partly because Liberia has become a refugee camp for people fleeing Côte d’Ivoire. But wait there’s more! The new WFP GMO food dumping Hunger Free Liberia program began in 2013, the same year the ebola outbreak started!

In Sierra Leone the WFP is dumping GMO food aid in the name of preventing malnutrition in children. The WFP says most farmers in the country are unable to get their crops to market because of bad roads, justifying the dumping of GMO food aid.

In Republic of Guinea, the WFP is ‘bartering’ their GMO food aid for locally produced iodized salt. The salt is used to supplement WFP’s food program. At least 114-thousand Guineans live off WFP’s food for salt program, which apparently began at the end of 2013.

In 2012 UN officials proudly reported that they finally got Nigerian officials to admit they have food insecurity. Since 2009 the UN claimed there were 30 regions in Nigeria in need of food aid. In 2012 the UN expanded that to 383! Food aid is being dumped by such globalist groups as UNICEF (dumping what they call Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods or RUTF), European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO) and the terrorist group known as USAID. UN officials also claim that by dumping this RUTF they are helping to fight inflation in Nigerian food prices (sounds like economic warfare). It should be noted that the expansion of the RUTF began in 2013!

This year the UN’s WFP announced even more GMO food aid to Nigeria, blaming increasing violence which is creating a refugee crisis. The food aid will also be shipped to refugee camps in Cameroon, so don’t be surprised if you hear about ebola spreading to Cameroon.

Who should we blame? According to a 2011 Popular Science article, U.S. based Monsanto is responsible for 90% of the GM crops around the World (grown mainly in the U.S. and South America)!

Then there’s the United Nations, African Development Bank, USAID, World Bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other ‘western’ globalist organizations that are pushing the use of GM seeds, and even dumping GM food aid in African countries.

It’s ironic that the genetically modified tobacco plant is being used to create a serum for ebola, after all the tobacco plant was the first plant to be genetically modified by humans (in 1982).

Roundup does this after coming into contact with certain minerals in the soil or aquifer: “Glyphosate and its primary metabolite AMPA can directly leach into the ground water and easily chelate to Ca, Mg and Sr copiously present in ground water…..Many farmers use hard water to dissolve glyphosate to prepare the spraying solutions as well……..Other modes of ingestion of glyphosate are dermal and respiratory. Low levels of glyphosate have frequently been detected in the urine of farm workers shortly after the glyphosate application….Glyphosate preparations are easily dissolved in sweat and absorbed transdermally…..the majority of farmers do not use any protective gear….Recent findings have revealed that rice, vegetables and raw tobacco…are contaminated with Cd and As…..Spanish researchers reported that glyphosate was present above the limits of detection in 41% of the ground water samples….the liver cannot metabolize the GMA lattice due to its unique configuration………confirmatory evidenceof the exposure and accumulation of As and Cd in the body as the kidneys become increasingly incapable of excreting them. Destruction of the tubular necks following long term exposure to GMA lattice also brings about a sudden decrease of renal functions in the later stages of the CKDu which result in the death of the patient if dialysis or renal transplantation is not done.”-Glyphosate, Hard Water and Nephrotoxic Metals

The Journal of Interdisciplinary Toxicology says Roundup is the cause of growing gluten allergies around the globe: “Celiac disease, and, more generally, gluten intolerance, is a growing problem worldwide, but especially in North America and Europe, where an estimated 5 percent of the population now suffers from it. Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes, macrocytic anemia and depression. It is a multifactorial disease associated with numerous nutritional deficiencies as well as reproductive issues and increased risk to thyroid disease, kidney failure and cancer. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide, Roundup, is the most important causal factor in this epidemic.”

This crap is on your veggies! When are you people gonna wake and realize that your exalted ‘christian’ corporate and political leaders are gottdamned evil?

“….we’re virtually on the verge of something that could end up becoming a deadly pandemic.”-John Waterman, former professor of anatomy, trained for biological warfare with U.S. Army Medical Command

In the past week, at least one person has been killed, three wounded by flesh eating bacteria, after fishing or wading along the Gulf of Mexico (for some reason some local news sources are reporting they were swimming). It was reported by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.

The gram-negative bacteria is called Vibrio vulnificus, and infects through existing wounds on your body, or ingestion. Health officials say the four people had wounds on their skin when they got infected. The man who died was fishing from a boat. Another fisherman got infected when he was cut by a fishing hook. One man cut his foot on an oyster reef, and the fourth man was reported as having Gulf water splash on him.

One man is still in the hospital.

Louisiana health department’s beach monitoring program has been testing the water at 25 locations, to find out if the levels of the bacteria are higher than normal. Usually people with healthy immune systems can fight off Vibrio vulnificus.

It is fact that British Petroleum sprayed massive amounts of GMO (genetically modified organism) bacteria onto the massive oil spill caused by the Deepwater Horizon disaster, in 2006.

Was it the GMO bacteria nick named Synthia (because it’s a synthetic bacteria created using viruses)? Some analysts warned that the GMO bacteria would affect the naturally occurring bacteria in the Gulf of Mexico, or replicate out of control. For years now there have been reports about the expanding and evolving Blue Plague in the Gulf of Mexico, things like fish found with two mouths, biologists reporting bacteria that has never been found in the Gulf before the BP disaster, “…evidence of bizarre sickness in the phytoplankton and bacterial communities.”, persistent skin rashes on people being caused by bacteria that are not affected by antibiotics, etc.

Even BP official Mike Utsler admitted to the U.K. news media that “There is a new form of microbiology that is attacking this plume and using it as a food source.” And that was in 2010, four years after the spill!

There have been many warnings from officials in health care, science, EPA and even some members of the U.S. Congress, but for some reason the U.S. main streamer news media, and the majority of public officials are ignoring the ongoing disaster in the Gulf of Mexico:

“Within a matter of months, the bacteria completely removed that methane. The bacteria kicked on more effectively than we expected.”-David Valentine, University of California Santa Barbara

“It would take a superhuman microbe to do what they [BP] are claiming.”-Samantha Joye, University of Georgia

“Oil-eating bacteria produce bio-films…..studies have found that bio-films are rapidly colonized by other Gram-negative bacteria, including those known to infect humans.”-Riki Ott, marine toxicologist, 2010

“This is like a major bacterial storm. It could be the reason we are seeing a variance of symptoms in different individuals. In some people, we see respiratory complications, while in others we see skin or GI symptoms. I think it is due to a multitude of colonized bacteria, which may have been triggered by BP’s disaster.”-Allison Schmidt, retired RN, 2010

“We are undertaking a huge uncontrolled experiment with the entire Gulf. They [EPA] have fallen down on the job very substantially because they allowed BP to use dispersants. Even when they told BP not to use dispersants they allowed BP to ignore their advice.”-Jerrold Nadler, U.S. congressman from New York, August 2010

“We knew going into this, and the EPA knew, that this mixture is highly toxic to many, many species. There is a whole weight of literature.”-Susan Shaw, Marine Environmental Research Institute, August 2010

“They [BP] are trying to spin this limited piece of information to make it look like dispersants are safe and that the Corexit dispersant is safe.”-Hugh Kaufman, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2010

It could be as large as 13777 square kilometers (8561 square miles, the size of New Jersey)!

It’s being caused by record breaking algae blooms, which are feeding off the record use of farm chemicals/“nutrients” (due to the fact that GMO crops have produced super insects) that runoff into the Gulf. Those algae are then eaten by the new GMO affected bacteria, and that process then destroys the oxygen in the water, killing off most of the marine life!

“The US (and Canadian) yields are falling behind economically and technologically equivalent agroecosystems matched for latitude, season and crop type; pesticide (both herbicide and insecticide) use is higher in the United States than in comparator W. European countries….”

A study by the University of Canterbury, in New Zealand, has revealed that the people of the United States and Canada could soon face starvation because of continued use of GMO (genetically modified organism) crops.

“The choice of GM-biotechnology packages in the US agroecosystem has been the stark contrast with W. European patterns of biotechnology use. Notwithstanding claims to the contrary…..there is no evidence that GM biotechnology is superior…..”

“Producing food is an essential activity, and the ability to produce food is a global strategic asset.”

“…..GM crops are not a solution, in part because they are controlled by strict IP instruments. Despite the claims that GM might be needed to feed the world, we found no yield benefit when the United States was compared to W. Europe……GM crops have maintained or increased US pesticide use relative to equally advanced competitors. The pattern and quantities unique to the use of GM-glyphosate-tolerant cropshas been responsible for the selection of glyphosate-tolerant weeds, with estimates of resistant weeds on between 6 and 40 million hectares [14.8 million to 98.8 million acres] in the United States…….The use of Bt crops is associated with the emergence of Bt resistance and by novel mechanisms in insect pests“

“The diversity of the germplasm is not increasing under the commercial sector in the United States and under prevailing government innovation incentives…..This islinked to globally declining rates in yield growth.”

11 July 2012, reports out of Cambodia say international health experts have solved the mystery illness that’s killed more than 60 children.

The UN’s World Health Organization, and Cambodian health officials, concluded that Mother Earth is ganging up on children. Kids are being hit by multiple diseases at the same time, such as enterovirus 71 (EV-71) and streptococcus suis.

In the case of EV-71 the mystery continues: “As far as I’m aware, EV-71 was not identified as a virus in Cambodia before.”-Nima Asgari, UN WHO

To make matters worse, the children were given inappropriate amounts of steroids, which can destroy your immune system. Steroids also interferes with symptoms of diseases, making it harder for doctors to figure out what’s going on.

Health officials are also blaming EV-71, and streptococcus suis, for what’s been happening in Vietnam. The strange thing is that most cases in Vietnam are occurring in areas that have recently (past couple of years) begun using Kanup/Roundup. These areas also have no experience with prior use of herbicides.

I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

“I am alive today, but part of the farming population is going to be sacrificed and is going to die because of this.”-Paul Francois, victim of Monsanto’s LASSO 384

In February 2012, for the first time, a French court found Monsanto guilty of chemically poisoning a farmer who used an herbicide called LASSO 384. The active ingredient is called Alachlor.

This is the first court case that directly links Monsanto’s products with illnesses.

In 2004 the farmer suffered sever neurological problems that included memory loss, stammering and headaches, after using LASSO. In 2007 the French government banned LASSO. France has the largest agricultural economy of the European Union.

In 2003 Monsanto quietly paid a settlement of $700 million USD to victims of poisonings in Anniston, Alabama.

The study was published in Current Microbiology, and says the active ingredient, glyphosate, destroys beneficial microorganism that live in the soil, and results in crops with less nutritional value! (I wounder if this has anything to do with mass colony collapse in bees?)

For example, the microorganism used in yogurt, Lactobacillus cremoris, has actually disappeared in areas where Roundup was used extensively. The study also said such destruction occurres with much lower doses of Roundup, than what is recommended by Monsanto.

But it was discovered that many farmers end up using more and more Roundup, year after year, to fight the growing number of super weeds. The results are huge tracks of farmland that are producing crops with very little nutrition!

05 July 2012, Cambodian health officials have turned to the UN World Health Organization for help in finding out what is killing their children. A similar thing happened in Vietnam.

In Vietnam the mystery disease was made public in April this year. It looks like a case of villagers incorrectly using a Monsanto product called Kanup 480 SL (Roundup in the United States). The villagers had never used herbicides prior to a chemical company sale person tricking them into using the Roundup.

Now, Cambodian officials are reporting the deaths of at least 61 children. The deaths began in April of this year. Symptoms include sudden onset of fever, neurological problems and severe respiratory problems. Officials say it is not contagious, implying it is not a virus or bacteria.

Cases have been reported in 14 Cambodian provinces. At this point health officials are treating this as a traditional disease.

“Glyphosate containing products are acutely toxic to animals, including humans. Symptoms include eye and skin irritation, cardiac depression, gastrointestinal pain, vomiting, and accumulation of excess fluid in the lungs. The surfactant used [polyethoxylated tallow amine] in a common glyphosate product (Roundup) is more acutely toxic than glyphosate itself; the combination of the two is yet more toxic.”-Caroline Cox, Journal of Pesticide Reform

“New research has recently been released showing that glyphosate, the main active ingredient found in Monsanto’s Roundup Ultra Max, is causing both DNA and cellular damage to cells found in the mouth and throat.”-Nation of Change

“Glyphosate, the ingredient in question, has been shown by a third-party study to cause birth defects in the embryos of lab animals.”-Fresh Fuzz, myessentia.com

“The world’s most popular weed killer, Roundup, can cause amphibians to change shape, according to research published today in Ecological Applications.”-Phys.org

“A team of senior plant and animal scientists have recently brought to my attention the discovery of an electron microscopic pathogen that appears to significantly impact the health of plants, animals and probably human beings. Based on a review of the data, it is widespread, very serious, and is in much higher concentrations in Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans and corn — suggesting a link with the RR gene, or more likely the presence of Roundup. This organism appears NEW to science!”-Colonel (Ret) Don Huber, Emeritus Professor, Purdue University APS Coordinator, USDA National Plant Disease Recovery System (NPDRS)

“Records of pesticide poisoning compiled over the last five years by California’s Department of Agriculture show that among some 200 pesticides widely used in the state, Roundup has been linked to the greatest numbers of eye, skin, and internal injuries. The EPA’s own Pesticide Incident Monitoring System (which was dissolved by the Reagan administration) recorded more than 100 cases of Roundup poisoning in 1980. Despite its own findings, the EPA concluded the weed killer is ‘not a primary skin irritant, and is only minimally irritating to the eye.’ That judgement was based solely on data provided by Monsanto.”-Skeptic Tank Files

“A recent study conducted by a German university found very high concentrations of Glyphosate, a carcinogenic chemical found in herbicides like Monsanto’s Roundup, in all urine samples tested. The amount of glyphosate found in the urine was staggering, with each sample containing concentrations at 5 to 20-fold the limit established for drinking water.”-NaturalSociety

“Some of the fungi promoted by glyphosate produce dangerous toxins that can end up in food and feed. Sudden Death Syndrome, for example, is caused by the Fusarium fungus. USDA scientist Robert Kremer found a 500% increase in Fusarium root infection of Roundup Ready soybeans when glyphosate is applied (see photos and chart). Corn, wheat, and many other plants can also suffer from serious Fusarium-based diseases. But Fusarium’s wrath is not limited to plants. According to a report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, toxins from Fusarium on various types of food crops have been associated with disease outbreaks throughout history. They’ve ‘been linked to the plague epidemics’ of medieval Europe, ‘large-scale human toxicosis in Eastern Europe,’ oesophageal cancer in southern Africa and parts of China, joint diseases in Asia and southern Africa, and a blood disorder in Russia. Fusarium toxins have also been shown to cause animal diseases and induce infertility.”-Dr. Fox, twobitdog.com

The reports go on and on and on, but here’s what Monsanto has to say about it: “Monsanto is not aware of any reliable studies that demonstrate Roundup Ready crops are more susceptible to certain diseases or that the application of glyphosate to Roundup Ready crops increases a plant’s susceptibility to diseases.”

Farmers in Vietnam, who’ve only just started using herbicides in the past two years, are suffering from terrible symptoms, even dozens of deaths. On top of that, and seemingly in coincidence, wild mutant dogs have been terrorizing villages, attacking and killing domestic animals.

Local Vietnamese media reports are now blaming an herbicide that farmers were tricked, I mean convinced, into using. Most of the farmers had never used herbicides before.

In Vietnam the herbicide in question is called Kanup 480 SL. It’s made by a company called Thang Bac Giang (Vithaco). Turns out that Kanup 480 SL is the very same herbicide known as Roundup in the United States.

Roundup was patented in the 1970s by Monsanto. The patent expired in 2000.

Here’s the thing: In 1996 Monsanto was sued by the state of New York for lying about the safety of its products. In 2007 Monsanto was convicted by the European Union for lying about Roundup being safe and biodegradable. It turns out that Roundup is not safe or biodegradable (under European standards). The main ingredient, isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, is “dangerous for the environment” and “toxic for aquatic organisms”. Another ingredient of Roundup is polyethoxylated tallow amine, it is known to be highly toxic to animals (humans are animals too, you know).

Lab test showed animals that were contaminated with Roundup resulted in mutated offspring. Some media reports say Monsanto knew of this as early as 1980. It’s interesting that the wild mutant dogs in Vietnam showed up in the very same areas that Kanup 480 SL is being used.

There have been dozens of studies on Roundup, showing it causes mutations and death. How much Roundup does it take to kill a human? It depends, but studies have found as little as 85 ml could kill you, while some people have survived accidental doses of as much as 500 ml. The latest study was in 2009.

Another interesting point: Monsanto is also behind genetically modified plants (which involve using deadly bacteria to make the modifications stick). The modified food crops are meant to be resistant to Roundup. However, some of these crops (the first being Soy) cross pollinated with weeds and created super weeds. The super weeds can not be killed with Roundup, however many people don’t know that and will just spray more and more Roundup.

I still deal with weeds the old fashioned way; I pull them up with my hands, or run over them with my electric lawn mower, or chop them down with a weed whacker.

Why just yesterday, after writing my article on the Mystery disease, I saw employees of the city of Chubbuck, in Idaho, busy with their yearly spraying of Roundup in the park adjacent to my back yard. They like to run that crap along the fence lines of everyone’s property that butts up to the park. It’s so strong you can smell it.

I used to work for a retail property management company. The boss was obsessed with using Roundup, even on a single weed that was growing in the middle of a parking lot that could hold a hundred cars! In less time than it took to mix the Roundup, then prime the pump and go about spraying, I was able to simply pull the weeds out of the asphalt. But I actually got reprimanded for that!

People in the United States better wake up and stop smelling the Roundup before you can’t smell the Roses anymore!

Warning! Roundup’s warning label is misleading. It basically says Roundup is just an ‘irritant’. Yet, on some Roundup warning labels (on their larger containers) it tells you to immediately call your local poison control center for help!

“The development of the disease at Ba Dien commune is really complicated and critical; the numbers of new cases and recurrence cases are increasing dramatically.”-Han Phong, People’s Committee in Ba To District

April 22, 2012, health officials in Vietnam are asking for help from the United Nations, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in trying to identify and treat a skin disease that’s already killed 27 people including 19 children.

More than 100 people are hospitalized. At least 171 people are infected. Many people are getting sick a second time (29 so far), which indicates that you can not build an immunity to it!

Last year the province recorded more than 150 people with similar symptoms.

Vietnam’s Ministry of Health says the virus spreads through direct contact with an infected person’s oral discharges or saliva, the fluid from burst blisters or the feces.

You end up with a high fever, loss of appetite and a rash that covers the hands and feet. If treated right away people seem to get better, but those who wait too long end up with liver problems and eventually multi-organ failure.

Vietnam’s Military Chemical Institute is now investigating the Ba To District of Quang Ngai Province. There are reports the district is now under quarantine: “We have to block the entrances here to stop patients from getting out and spreading the disease. Since we don’t know what caused the disease, we will have to rely on our rituals and prayers.”-Pham Van Tray, Reu village

Quang Ngai Province is that area where the infamous My Lai Massacre took place at the hands of U.S. Army soldiers. The same province saw forced relocation of Vietnamese villagers, by the U.S. and its puppet government of South Vietnam, in the name of protecting them from the “commies”.

In May, 2011, another district in the same Province was harassed and terrorized by an unknown beast. Roaring sounds and strange footprints were found at the base of the Dinh Mountain in Son Tra Commune. At least 20 dogs were killed, most were found with their heads and internal organs missing.

In Lao Cai Province people claimed to have seen the beast that’s killing pet dogs, and other domesticated animals. They said it is a mutant dog, tall with a fur coat varying in description from white spots to yellow stripes.

This year fires torn through two huge markets, in the provinces of Quang Ngai and Quang Binh, causing about $300,000 USD in damage.

Also this year, farmers on central Quang Ngai Province‘s Ly Son Island, known as the garlic kingdom, have suffered their biggest crop failure ever. Farmers lost 80% of their garlic to unusually heavy rain!

(now you see why I say they’re cursed)

Back to the killer “virus”. I say “virus” because there are reports that the reason the Military Chemical Institute is involved is because some officials think the “virus” is really an herbicide called Kanup 480 SL.

Another report said that most farmers in the area started using herbicides only two years ago, that’s when the symptoms began (and sightings of mutant feral dogs).

Many reports say the herbicide is made by the United States, however my research revealed that it is made by a Vietnamese company called Thang Bac Giang (Vithaco), not the other company that’s being named in most reports (there are several companies using the misreported name, one of which turns out to be a major textile manufacturer).

The primary ingredient in Kanup 480 SL is Glyphosate IPA Salt 480gr / l. It was patented by U.S. corporation Monsanto in the 1970s. It is widely used in the United States. Lab tests on animals revealed mutations, which could explain the mutant dogs killing people’s pets in Vietnam. U.S. lab studies were supposedly inconclusive as to what happens to humans who’re contaminated with it.

According to some poor translations of local Vietnamese news media, most people who are sick, or who died, had just finished spraying their fields with Kanup 480 SL. From what I read, it seems like many did not mix the chemical properly and used it in concentrated form.

This might be another case of a corporation that tricked farmers who had never used chemicals in their life, into buying a new fangled contraption (Kanup 480 SL). The local reports I read say the farmers in Quang Ngai Province only started using the herbicide in the past two years, and it really looks like they do not understand how to use it, or how harmful it could be.
